• 6 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the Assistant Minister is misleading the House by saying what I did not actually mean. I meant that centres like Moyale, Lodwar and Mandera are very many kilometers away from Nairobi. There are many workers here in the city who would like to travel there but the roads are impassable. I did not ask him to configure but why can he not make an effort to provide two or three BVR machines for those affected areas so that the people within the city can have an opportunity to ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have an issue with part “c” of the Assistant Minister’s answer where he has insisted that there is no provision for Kenyans to register as voters in a station of their choice. Voting is a constitutional right which must be exercised by every Kenyan and this can only be done by being able to register as a voter. There are many Kenyans who are unable to travel to these wards that the Assistant Minister has stated. For example, here in Nairobi there are many workers who cannot afford the fares to places like Moyale, ... view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I specifically want to congratulate the Minister for correcting a very serious anomaly which has been in this country since Independence. That is the Agriculture Act, Cap. 318 of 1948 which has been in place. This has been very discriminatory. In its opening or introductory remarks, it says it will take care of agriculture or crop production in the whole country save or except for the former Northern Frontier District. As you will realize, that is very discriminative. It was treating northern Kenya as if it is not ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to sincerely thank hon. Njuguna and hon. Kombo for this very important petition. These ambiguities surrounding the Provincial Administration generally must be sorted out, once and for all. Specifically, the idea of chiefs and assistant chiefs not knowing their fate is a pity because they do play a great role in the maintenance of peace and harmony, especially in pastoral communities where cattle rustling is rampant. For example, they have been playing a very crucial role in tracking down criminals in Marsabit County. Marsabit County is one of the largest counties in the ... view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to add my voice to this very important Bill. Examination is a process by which young men and women are prepared to go into the future, so that they can be responsible citizens. Of late, we have seen this very important exercise being abused severally, thereby ending up wasting all the efforts that were put into preparing some of the young men. Many at times, in several counties, we have had cases of examination cheating and, therefore, examination results being cancelled and people being told to repeat or being denied an opportunity to ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill, but I have got several areas that I would like to propose to this House that we look into very seriously so that as we support the NSIS we do not undermine the Constitution. Our territorial integrity is supreme and we must protect our territories at all costs. However, in so doing, we must make sure that we do not infringe on the rights that have been provided by the Constitution, for example, the Bill of Rights. If this Bill is passed in the present form, there are many ... view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Minister for at least giving a vehicle to the Leheley District Registration Officer, I will also ask him to consider giving one to the Lefey District, which is in Mandera East, about 700 kilometres from Leheley. It is about 1200 kilometres from Nairobi. He should also provide a vehicle to the Registration Officer at Lefey, because--- view
• 14 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question asked by the hon. Member about marginalized areas has not been given due attention. Indeed, the Government has to address the question of all school dropouts, because it is becoming a problem to the country. However, with regard to part “c” of the Question, I would like the Minister to clarify something. When they set out to do recruitments countrywide, what serious affirmative action do they consider as a Ministry so that marginalized areas are not left behind because of performance as has been indicated clearly? view

• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a regular user of the said highway and I want to say that it poses security problems to all its users. Recently, an Imam from my own constituency died at the same spot that the hon. Member has mentioned. Two weeks ago, a lorry load of cattle was off loaded and no arrests have been made as yet. When we intervene with the local police on the ground, what we are told is almost the same always; that they either do not have vehicles or when one is available, fuel is not readily availed. So, ... view
